Reading CDP information from ESXi 4.1 via the CLI

In VMware ESX you can use the vimsh command from the command line in order to retrieve CDP information. With the release of ESXi 4.1, the vimsh command is not included. However there is still a way to retrieve CDP informtation via the CLI. Instead of using vimsh, you simply use vim-cmd. The path to the utility is /bin/vim-cmd.
